Interactive Poetics: Creativity Through Passing Mediums
By: Annie Rusk '15
Advising Faculty: Andrea Wollensak and James Lee
"Interactive Poetics: Creativity Through Passing Mediums" included two site-specific multi-media installations that, through moving poetry and interaction with the human body, highlight the physicality of artistic creation. The interactive poetic phrases were projected on the floor in Blaustein and Cummings and their movement was triggered by users moving through the space. Kinect, a motion sensing input device, picked up the movement of the user within the space.
